Rather than formidable, he looks quite silly (of course, you'd probably change that opinion of you were actually under attack by the dragon). You could probably make it work in a visual medium (e.g. focusing on the sheer length of the dragon, rather than bulk, as in eastern media), but most of the audience would probably be like "that's not a dragon" and "lol, so silly" :) | |
